I've been covering the video game space for 20 years for outlets like The Washington Post, Reuters, CNET, AOL, Wired Magazine, Yahoo!, Entertainment Weekly, NBC, Variety, Maxim, EGM, and ESPN. I serve as EIC of GamerHub.tv and co-founder of GamerHub Content Network, a video game and technology video syndication network that works with Tribune and DBG to syndicate game videos and editorial around the world. I also cover games for outlets like The Hollywood Reporter, IGN, Geek Monthly, CNN, DigitalTrends and PrimaGames.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Washington, D.C. President Barack Obama, the first President to bring a Wii into the White House, went Christmas shopping at a Virginia Best Buy. He picked up a copy of Ubisoft’s hit game, Just Dance 3 for his daughters, Malia and Sasha.

“In case you all are wondering, Just Dance for the Wii,” said Obama to the crowd of Christmas shoppers. “The girls beat me every time on these various dance games. And you’ll never get a picture of me [playing] because I get graded F every time.”

Obama isn’t the only one who likes the Just Dance franchise. Ubisoft’s Just Dance 3 was the No. 1 Wii game for the month of November. The Just Dance franchise has produced the No. 1 Wii game for the past 13 of 14 months of NPD reports (Just Dance 3 twice, Just Dance 2 ten times, Just Dance Summer Party once). Ubisoft has 72 percent market share among dance video games for calendar year 2011 with its recent dance game releases.
